HOLLYWOOD star Orlando Bloom may have split from Miranda Kerr but he’s taking his job as a dad seriously — and he’s looking to settle down in his home country.

The 37-year-old British star recently parted ways with his Australian supermodel wife, but he insists the couple have put their three-year-old son Flynn first.

And despite skipping between London, Los Angeles and wherever he is working, the Lord of the Rings star claimed he would like his son to have some experience “living at home, in England”.

“I’ve lived a very nomadic life, which I enjoy. But now that I have my son it gets a lot more serious — I want to be in his life and have as much input and influence on his as I can,” he told The Times Magazine.

The news may come as a shock to his ex-wife’s parents, however, who told Australian Story last month they hope Flynn spends some time in Australia.

“What I’d really like to do as a grandad now is teach Flynn how to milk a cow, how to ride a horse, teach him all them (sic) country things,” Kerr’s father John Kerr said.

Meanwhile Bloom, describing his break up from Kerr as “amicable”, said the couple had done their best to stay together and there was “no harm, no foul” on either side.

Differences between what the pair wanted “from our lives, our work” had become a challenge, he said, before adding his ex is “a very supportive and understanding woman”.

“It’s ever evolving, but I’ve said to her, ‘We’re going to be in each other’s lives for the rest of our lives and we have a child, so it’s important to me that we respect each other as we always have and that Flynn feels that and understands that.’ There’s a deep love between us.”
